Simple Southern Wedding Photography in Tampa, Florida.

Hey y'all!

My name is Chelsey Somohano and I am a wedding photographer serving Tampa & Central Florida!

I specialize in wedding photography that is candid, colorful, and intimate with a bit of that southern flair. I use natural light to document warm, genuine moments. I strive to create photographs with a simplicity that allows the narrative of your wedding day to unfold naturally.

If you're wearing cowboy boots under your wedding dress and your venue resembles more of a barn than a church, chances are we're going to get along just fine. If you like a little bit of country music and don't mind when I say y'all, then we might just become best friends. Delicate lace wedding dresses and pretty pink peonies are just a few things that make my heart flutter.

If your vision for your wedding is something out of Southern Weddings Magazine, you've come to the right place.

If you connect with my work and would like more information, please contact me.

About the photographer

About the photographer

Hi! I'm Chelsey and I am a wedding photographer in Tampa!

Five years ago, I stumbled upon dozens of boxes of photographs, hidden away for a lifetime in my grandmother's house. They were overflowing with photographs of days past; the day my grandmother and grandfather got married, the day my dad was born, my own parents' childhood, and many of my own childhood memories that I had only ever recalled. They were photos of everyday life, preserved in perfect, individual prints. Real, tangible things that I could hold in my hand. Finding those images, those preserved memories that I didn't even know existed, really changed my perspective about what it is I really do. This change in thinking really helped evolve my photographic style into what it is today. My intention is not only to take beautiful photographs, but to leave you feeling exactly the way you did in that moment that I captured.

When it comes to wedding photography, I consider what I do to be magic. There’s something to be said about having the ability to preserve a moment for somebody forever I love observing how people interact with each other. Everyone you love in the same place celebrating your commitment to one another. I love documenting special days. I love documenting stolen glances and hidden tears and subtle smiles and uninhibited emotion. I love capturing that look he gives you when you aren’t paying attention. I love seeing that moment when you're walking down the aisle and you sneak a quick peek at your dad. I live for those moments.

You'll always find me with a camera in my hand, whether I'm photographing a wedding or riding my horses. You might find me at the beach, competing at a rodeo, or binge-watching reruns of The Office on the couch in my sweatpants!

Get in touch.

If you've made it this far, chances are I just might be the right photographer for your wedding day. If you want photographs that show the connection between you and your other half, but you also want to connect with the person making those photographs, I know I'm the right photographer for you. If you like a little bit of country music and don't mind when I say y'all, then we might just become best friends.

Chelsey was an absolute dream to work with. We really wanted to find someone to capture the emotions and special moments of our wedding day, and not just the traditional staged photos. We knew the day would fly by and we wanted to be able to relive the moments through our photographs. I felt at ease from the moment I met Chelsey. She is so pleasant, kind, and passionate about what she does. The photos turned out better than we could have hoped and we will be sharing them for years to come. I could not have asked to find anyone a better fit to work with than Chelsey. My friends and family continue to not only compliment how beautiful the photos turned out, but on how wonderful Chelsey was to be around. We were truly blessed to find her and have her be such an integral part to our day.
